用大模型模拟交互状态,实现可扩展的多轮工具调用智能体评估
Toward Scalable Verifiable Reward: Proxy State-Based Evaluation for Multi-turn Tool-Calling LLM Agents
- 用LLM追踪对话全程生成结构化代理状态,替代传统确定性后端
- 在多个模型家族上稳定区分性能,且在新场景中仍能有效提供训练监督
- 支持用户角色敏感性分析,人工与模型判别一致率超90%
基于多轮对话和多步工具调用的交互式大语言模型(LLM)智能体正广泛应用于生产环境。现有基准如tau-bench、tau^2-bench和AppWorld依赖完全确定性的后端,构建与迭代成本高昂。本文提出代理状态评估(Proxy State-Based Evaluation),一种由LLM驱动的仿真框架,无需确定性数据库即可保留基于最终状态的评估能力。具体而言,场景包含用户目标、用户/系统事实、期望最终状态及期望行为;一个LLM状态追踪器从完整交互轨迹中推断结构化代理状态,再由LLM裁判验证目标达成性,并检测工具或用户幻觉是否违反场景约束。实证表明,该基准在不同模型族及推理策略下均产生稳定且可区分的排名,其在线/离线回放数据可迁移至未见场景。精心设计的场景使模拟幻觉率接近零,消融实验予以支持。框架还支持对用户人格的角色敏感性分析。人-模型判别一致性超过90%,表明自动化评估可靠。总体而言,代理状态评估为工业级LLM智能体提供了实用且可扩展的替代方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Interactive large language model (LLM) agents operating via multi-turn dialogue and multi-step tool calling are increasingly used in production. Benchmarks for these agents must both reliably compare models and yield on-policy training data. Prior agentic benchmarks, such as tau-bench, tau^2-bench, and AppWorld, rely on fully deterministic backends, which are costly to build and iterate. We propose Proxy State-Based Evaluation, an LLM-driven simulation framework that preserves final state-based evaluation without a deterministic database. Specifically, a scenario specifies the user goal, user/system facts, expected final state, and expected agent behavior, and an LLM state tracker infers a structured proxy state from the full interaction trace. LLM judges then verify goal completion and detect tool/user hallucinations against scenario constraints. Empirically, our benchmark produces stable, model-differentiating rankings across model families and inference-time reasoning efforts, and its on-/off-policy rollouts provide supervision that transfers to unseen scenarios. Careful scenario specification yields near-zero simulator hallucination rates, as supported by ablation studies. The framework also supports sensitivity analyses over user personas. Human-LLM judge agreement exceeds 90%, indicating reliable automated evaluation. Overall, proxy state-based evaluation offers a practical, scalable alternative to deterministic agentic benchmarks for industrial LLM agents.
